From Southampton to Rouen - our video takes in the sights of a French river cruise. We also take a peek at the lovely cruise ship Braemar

 

Whether you’re new to Fred. Olsen and want to experience cruising on board one of the smaller, more intimate cruise ships; or are a regular Fred. guest looking for a relaxing weekend break, a River Seine Sojourn is the perfect getaway.

 

Your weekend away begins with an overnight cruise to France, where you’ll wake up to views of beautiful countryside as Braemar glides into Rouen. Be sure to visit the stunning cathedral and marvel at its magnificent gothic-style façade during your overnight stay; and explore the Place du Vieux Marché, where you’ll find bustling bars and restaurants as well as the exact spot where Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake. Alternatively, join a tour to Paris and enjoy a magical evening in the French capital. Wander along the Champs-Elysées, stop for photos at the iconic Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, and grab a bite to eat at world-famous restaurants.

 

Upon departure from Rouen you will enjoy a superb scenic cruise along the winding waters of the River Seine. Sailing this picturesque river is always a special experience, especially during the day when you can enjoy the sunshine as rolling valleys, lush-green meadows and charming communes come into view. This relaxing 60-nautical-mile journey will be the perfect conclusion to your short weekend escape.
